Let's play Scotland Yard: Rules and review by Hit and Sunk Games

A look at the rules followed by a review of Ravensburger's Scotland Yard board game

Oh and the black tickets can also be used to cross the river on stations 194,  157, 115 & 108, so an alternative escape route that only Mr. X has :-)

Good review! Just like in real life, police are more restricted than criminals.

Excellent review and explanation. Funny thing is, I had exactly the same impression and experience of the game as a 9- or 10-year-old. I played it often with some friends back in Vienna. Now years later I bought it for my son and can’t wait to play.

This is a game of skill. No chance like rolling of die or randomness involved. Just luuuurve this board game.

I have this game. I felt overwhelmed trying to figure out the game so i can play with my kids. I will have to watch this..for the 3rd time.

Great explanation. I'm having to code this for a computing project and needed to know the rules to even get started. This helped a bunch!

Letters From Whitechapel is an excellent game to move on to after you've mastered Scotland Yard.

Great explanation...much better than some other videos that were just rambling away reading from the instructions booklet. Thanks for this.

the game is been sitting on the shelf since last x-mas, I just found your cute review today very helpful and I'm going to give it a go changing a bit the rules as you suggested.

Man I remember playing this back in the mid 80’s. I haven’t seen this game in years.

UK's police National HQ is Scotland Yard, and Singapore Police Force National HQ is at New Phoenix Park, a max security facility where the SPF HQ shares the same ground as the Ministry of Home Affairs building and the Internal Security Department central HQ.

Instead of limiting Mr x, give the players more subway and bus passes (by letting them reuse them) and thus also make the game more environmentally friendly :-)

A board game that is interesting than pubg

Thanks for this video, I played this game today with some friends after 10 years since my last game. I agree with you about tweking the game to make it more enjoyable for everyone. For example, one rule that is not explained in the instructions is: can Mister X go past a detective if he get the bus or underground? I think he shouldn't. In this way, the strategy of the games gets deeper.

Thank you! This helped us to have a better understanding of the game! ☆

I played so much of this game with my older friend when i was a child, such good memories. Just bought it now and im trying to remember the rules but there was no english in the manual XD

This was helpful, and your accent adds to the coolness of the review.

Thanks for the heads up on the rules! I opened this at Christmas for the kids and thought OMG… Btw, have you noticed the ghost like orb that passes on your left side at about 13:35? Might need a call to the Ghostbusters!!! 😂 I’m sure it’s just a trick of the light… 👻

[ThatRomyKate]

Thanks for the review! Got this for Christmas today and although due to Covid I can’t really play it yet I’m looking forward to it. Maybe you can tweak it so that Mr X can only get new tickets when he reveals himself, or that the detectives can share their tokens to help the others if they run out?

This is the best explanation for this Game! Thanks 👍
